Abstract
Postprostatectomy incontinence (PPI) is one of the most bothersome complications of radical prostatectomy. A postoperative image survey may better predict PPI than a preoperative survey. The aim of this study was to determine whether postoperative cystography bladder patterns can predict PPI at short- and long-term follow-up. In total, 180 patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) from September 2008 to September 2014, and who were followed for at least 6 months, were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent cystography within 2 weeks after RARP before Foley catheter removal, and all parameters were analyzed to evaluate the relationship with PPI at 1, 6, 12, and 24 months post-RARP. Patients were also divided into four bladder neck level groups, according to the relative position of the bladder neck to the pubic symphysis. A total of 119 patients were followed for at least 48 months after RARP. Cystography patterns were analyzed, including the downward bladder neck, bladder height, bladder width, height to width ratio, and bladder neck angle. A more downward bladder neck and a sharper bladder neck angle were significant predictors of PPI at 1, 6, 12, and 24 months after RARP. Patients with a large...Continue Reading
